Why Read This Report

Forrester has made the point that US companies have chosen to invest in technology instead of adding jobs. But the counterpoint is that US tech vendors — especially software and IT services companies — have been hiring at a rapid rate and thus contributing to US job growth. This is a positive for the industry in terms of public and political relations about tech's effect on employment. But it also highlights the potential for software and IT services firms in particular to face shortages of potential candidates.
